During our ThinkPad X300 review, we ran into some issues with running PCMark Vantage which is why the Memory and Overall performance number are missing from the graph above. The X200 exhibited similar problems initially but we were eventually able to coax it to successfully complete the entire benchmark suite.
According to the PCMark Vantage's overall score, the X200 is the best performer out of our comparison machines. It received top scores in nearly every single PCMark module with the notable exception of the hard drive module. The X300 performed the best in the hard drive module by a significant margin but it was the only notebook in the group equipped with a solid-state drive. Out of the notebooks equipped with traditional mechanical drives, the X200 performed the best by a large margin.
Overall, the X200 was the best performer of the lot, at least according to PCMark Vantage. The X200 packs the fastest processor and the newest chipset out of the group as well, so this isn't too surprising.
